The training centre was established in 2016. The aim of the centre is to reach out to small-scale farmers, NGO’s and government departments and provide short, but comprehensive training courses in poultry.

Our facility is situated in a calm and beautiful environment where people attending can come and learn and build new friendships. We are proud to be part of the APMI project, working together with World Poultry Foundation towards making a difference. To date, over 1000 people have passed through our training centre and we have had very positive feedback on our courses. We look forward to continuing providing these courses in the future and developing others as the demand grows.

The training center has added a new dimension to poultry in Tanzania. From just having a few village chickens running around homes, people that have attended the courses, have been exposed to a new way of looking at poultry farming. The courses are designed to educate farmers in the best practices to grow chickens in their environment. They soon come to realize that it can become a sustainable business and can grow with experience, hard work and passion. The staff at the training center are dedicated to creating this passion and excitement for chickens and new beginnings in poultry farming. This has resulted in lives being changed. Examples of this are families being able to pay school fees and provide better for their families.

The training center is not only focused on teaching good poultry management, but also on building relationships and a support system for them once they return home and begin their farming adventure. We pride ourselves at the number of success stories that have been shared and in the number of lives that have drastically been changed due to their experience at the Silverlands Poultry Training Center.
